PSAT Scores Curve

<p>I know, my scores are (or they were) conflicting with yours</p>

<p>The main problems are with the CR curve... someone said they got 2 wrong on saturday and still got an 80... i think you might have misplaced your -2 score (should be in -3)</p>

<p>why would it be -3? SOmeone on the threads said they had -2, 0 omits. I think it was Taggart</p>

<p>48 - 2 - .5 = 45.5 = 46</p>

<p>do the lowered precentiles (212+ is 99th) mean that individual state cutoffs will also be lower this year?</p>

<p>I'm sure I saw a post that said something like "I got -2 on CR and got an 80 (thank god for the curve)"... can't find it now</p>

<p>*thank you for findng the post orchdorkbando</p>

<p>its always been like that</p>

<p>happened to me last year in math</p>

<p>but perfect this year</p>

<p>i hope the cut offs go down</p>

<p>just checking..
are we doing number of questions wrong or the raw score
because the eng. curve for sat. test is really good</p>

<p>the raw score</p>

<p>I got a 193 but only 94th percentile.</p>

<p>hey..what did you have to get to get a 90th percentile?
(jw..i havent got mine back yet and i predict around 190-205ish but i dont know if this will be 90th, which i need for nj gov school)</p>

<p>if something is inaccurate... please change it!</p>

<p>-1 on critical reading on the wednesday test should be 80 because that's what i got</p>

<p>on the saturday test, i got 5 critical reading questions wrong (raw score 42) and my score was 72</p>

<p>Damn , wednesday writing curve is harsh</p>

<p>Wednesday's curve in general is much worse. ugh.</p>

<p>Take a look at page four of this report from CollegeBoard: <a href="http://www.collegeboard.com/prod_downloads/counselors/psat/understanding-scores-no-answer-key.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.collegeboard.com/prod_downloads/counselors/psat/understanding-scores-no-answer-key.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>It's the point-to-score conversion chart for both Wednesday and Saturday.</p>
